Colitis
What is colitis? Suggestions for someone suffering from colitis. -Lynn

Inflammation of the colon (large intestine). It may span the entire colon or it may involve only a portion. If the colon wall has become ulcerated and bleeding it is a more serious form known as ulcerative colitis. Medical treatment usually eventually requires the removal of the colon. My daughter was diagnosed with this condition two and a half years ago and we used the following suggestions from Darlene Haberer. Thanks to her help and the input of many knowledgeable and caring people on the forum, she is a healthy 20-year-old attending college and is medication free and taking limited herbs (compared to her mega-doses during the worst time of her illness). Change to whole food diet, eliminating meat, dairy, sugar, wheat, caffeine, fried foods and yeast. Baby foods may be best if adult foods are to harsh. Three to six times per day administer a drink of 1 t. Bulk Slippery Elm. 4 oz. papaya juice and 1 T. Whole Leaf Aloe Vera. Take two Food Enzymes, and 4 Intestinal Sooth and Build with each meal. Be sure to include Nutri-Calm in the regimen because stress is a factor (although, not the cause)in colon related diseases. Catnip and Stress-J are also calming. IF-C is beneficial for inflammation. Calcium, magnesium and vit. D along with Super Supplemental are important. If bleeding is involved, Chlorophyl and Yellow Dock are excellent in treating anemic condition. If the person is on prednisone, Yucca and Licorice are good replacements and will boost the adrenals. Get off medications after three weeks. Our experience was that her symptoms got worse for a while when the medications were halted. But persistence, patience and commitment to the goal of keeping the colon kept us faithful to the program. If you muscle test, it would be helpful, because as much as 6 Intestinal Sooth and Build may be needed per hour in severe cases. And the Slippery Elm drink as often as every hour until symptoms subside. -Sheri

CLT-X or Spleen Activator, + Slippery Elm and Intestinal soothe & Build Essential Oil - Roman Chamomile massage the abdomen. Check for parasites if you do muscle testing and candida. -Janice McComb

I have found that Slippery Elm along with Whole Leaf Aloe Vera juice really helps heal the colon. Add bowel detox and have them eat mild pre-cooked foods only. Very balanced diet for 5 weeks. It takes time to heal this problem. No caffeine, alcohol or acidic foods. -Suzanne |
